Chapter 96: Pact

Okay, let's do this." Chen Huan took a deep breath. "The forming of a Sacred Beast pact is a bit more formal and particular than some. Let's go inside, and I'll teach you the recitation."

Once we were in private, it only took a few minutes to go over the recitation of the oath between Sacred Beast and champion. "Okay, one last thing…I have to assume my true form for the oath."

So, I got my second look at Chen Huan's real body. Compared to last time, I could look at him more properly, and he did give me the impression now of being quite young. Chen Huan reared up his head. "All right…I'm gonna say it!

"I, Chen Huan of the Sunscale Serpent Sacred Beasts, swear to serve and obey the one I have chosen to become a Champion of Snake of the Zodiacs. My strength and my knowledge will be theirs to use, as I support their steps on the path to the Supreme Heaven."
